Chapter 7: Occupy a City

The rhetoric of the people turned into gentle whispers in the candlelight at midnight.

After the joy, Zhu Youzhen and Queen Zhou snuggled together, and you and I were discussing whether they would have a son or a daughter this time. After leaving Jingshi, Empress Zhou also slowly became a normal woman, not a queen who had to hold a shelf in the palace at any time.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen heard a rush of footsteps, and then the surrounding tent curtains moved, and Qi Han stretched out his hand, revealing his side face.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiong and Wen Tiren are outside, saying that there is an emergency military report."

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, he knew Wen Tiren, if this kind of military report Xiong Wencan and Sun Chengzong couldn't handle it, there must be a big problem.

He quickly stood up and beckoned the palace maid to dress himself.

"You go to sleep first, don't worry about me." After saying that, he hurriedly followed Qi Han out.

When they came to the outer house, Wen Tiren and Xiong Wencan had already arrived. Xiong Wencan was still panting slightly, it seemed that he had also run all the way and fell again, and he had just calmed down.

Wen Tiren saw that Zhu Youzhen came out, and hurriedly said:

"The Four Seas report back! Two months ago, our Ming Navy regained the old port of Daming in Jinzhou."

Well? At first glance, Zhu Youzhen had a question mark in his head. He thought about it for a long time, and there was no origin of the name Golden State in his mind. looked at Xiong Wencan questioningly.

Xiong Wencan pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, Jinzhou is today's Sumatra."

"Da Ming has a consolation division in Sumatra? When will we have a consolation division in Sumatra?"

Wen Tiren only knew at this time that His Majesty the Emperor, who looked at the omniscient on weekdays, still had a little omission in this regard.

He hastened to add:

"Your Majesty, not only has the Sumatra Propaganda Division been established for a long time, but according to the records, there should be close to 100,000 Ming people on it."

As soon as he heard that there were still 100,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen slapped his hands heavily, and his face became heavy.

"Why didn't I bring Shun this time!"

"Xuanjin Yiwei Mo Jinghui, Xuansun Chengzong, Xuandong Factory Nanyang Wei Qianhu. Xuan Xia Yunyi." Zhu Youzhen said the names of several people in one breath, and then sat down and took a sip of tea.

"I think I already attach great importance to Nanyang, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big omission."

"Who's in command on the Four Seas now?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, the commanders are Admiral Cao Bianjiao, Chief Soldier Ma Ke, and Chief Soldier Bai Daohui."

"I remembered that Cao Bianjiao and Ma Ke were still the commander-in-chief orders issued by me, and Bai Daohui was the one who came home."

"In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, the king of Java destroyed the old dynasty of Srivijapa, when more than 1,000 people of the Ming Dynasty who lived in Srivijah supported Liang Daoming, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, as the king of Srivijaya. During the Jiajing period, Zhang Lian, a native of Raoping, the capital of Chaozhou, went south to conquer present-day Sumatra and established himself as the king, occupying the old port, Johor, Malacca and other places, with the country name "Feilong", Zhangzhou and Quanzhou and overseas Ming immigrants all depended on him, with more than 60,000. He was later destroyed by the Sultan of Achia, who was supported by the king of Ottoman."

Xiong Wencan seized the time to supplement His Majesty the Emperor with historical knowledge at this stage.

"Zhang Ban, a native of Raoping, Guangdong, is a thief in this play. At the end of the Jiaqing Dynasty, the three provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian were ravaged in a chaotic manner, and the situation was extremely rampant, and the governor Zhang Xian and the general director Yu Dayou combined the three provincial capitals to suppress them, and transferred 200,000 troops, and all three years were peaceful. The officers and soldiers reported the victory, saying that they had won the great leader and were killed."

"Failed uprising in the Ming Dynasty? Driven over by Zhang Xian and Yu Dayou?"

Zhu Youzhen's lawsuit.

"Why did the Four Seas attack there? What is the attitude of the locals towards the Four Seas Fleet and towards the Ming Dynasty?"

It's been two months, and I don't know what the situation is now.

While speaking, Sun Chengzong, Mo Jinghui, Xia Yunyi, and Luo Zhengwu all came in. Sun Chengzong, Mo Jinghui, and Xia Yunyi began to browse through the documents sent back by the Four Seas. Zhu Youzhen is

looked at Luo Zhengwu, this person from the Dongchang Nanyang Guard House had not seen it himself.

"What is Luo's nature?"

"If you return to Your Majesty, you are a member of the same clan."

Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"Has the paperwork been inspected?" Everyone's focus is different, Mo Jinghui first began to ask for the paperwork and inspection manual of the Nanyang Health Office of the East Factory. Check the authenticity of the document according to the complex pinyin alphabet above.

These pinyin letters were promoted by Zhu Youzhen in the army academy, and they seemed to Xiong Wencan and others to be a ghost drawing of a book from heaven, but Mo Jinghui and others made it very clear.

Soon, the facts became clearer.

"According to the war reports, the Four Seas Fleet was stabbed in the back by the Dutch East India Company while fighting the Arabian pirates. The mussels competed for the fisherman's profit, and the pirate islands targeted by the Four Seas Fleet were robbed by the Dutch ahead of schedule."

The battle report is intermittent, and it seems that the life of the Four Seas Fleet is not easy, and it should be that the situation was hastily explained in the chase.

"Then the Four Seas Fleet retaliated against the stronghold of the Dutch in Golden State."

"It should be that they didn't expect that it happened to be with the uprising of the Ming people in Sumatra, Golden State. The Ming people of Sumatra should also be unable to endure the exploitation of the Dutch for a long time."

"That makes sense!" Sun Chengzong stood up first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this sentence is very important,...... It is a key point in the South Sea, west of Java, and can reach the mainland for eight days and nights with a tailwind......

He used his thick fingers to point out this paragraph to Zhu Youzhen.

"What was their final decision?"

There were too many documents sent back this time, and no one could read them all, and Zhu Youzhen was also among many people, listening to everyone's opinions and priorities.

"Your Majesty, the Four Seas Fleet finally hopes to consolidate Sumatra, because there are too many Kunlun Nu and Western shipwrights in their current fleet, and there is a vague implication of non-stop deployment. At the same time, they will be at greater risk at sea, so it is better to rely on Sumatra as a stronghold, and if they see that they mean that they will retreat to land and let the fleet use it for sneak attacks." Looking at part of it was Wen Tiren.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright.

In addition to these people, there were also many secretaries and supervisors and many people from the staff headquarters crowded in, and the charts of Sumatra and the division of maritime forces were hung up.

Zhu Youzhen looked at these people.

Everyone is a smart person, and the time in the middle of the night has their own considerations.

"Befriend Zheng Zhilong." Xiong Wencan has discovered the key. Sumatra is eight days and nights away from the mainland, and if the Ming Dynasty is willing, it will now invest huge support to stabilize this transportation line and communication line. The Dutch are not really a problem in the short term. Sumatra will become a rocker for the Ming Dynasty to enter the South Seas.

"We must befriend Zheng Zhilong and make him part of our transportation line to provide the necessary support for the Four Seas Fleet."

"Disagree!"

Mok objected.

"The Four Seas Fleet is acting out of opportunity, not at all. If we befriend Zheng Zhilong, we are actually throwing our hole cards to each other, the sea is not like land, and if things are not harmonious, we can't do anything at all."

"I suggest assassinating Zheng Zhilong and messing up the Thirteen Elements." Mo Jinghui looks thin and small, but now she is full of murderous words.

"Jinyiwei is a knife, don't see anything and cut it indiscriminately. Wouldn't assassinating Zheng Zhilong make the entire Nanyang even more chaotic?" Xiong Wencan was the main faction that recruited Zheng Zhilong, so he naturally disagreed with this opinion.

"It doesn't matter at all, we don't need Zheng Zhilong's support on Dongying's side now. The Kumajin transport fleet is close to fifty large ships, even if it is chaotic, it is a year and a half of hard work. Otherwise, it is a search for the skin of the tiger." Mo Jinghui continued to insist.

"Alliance Zheng Zhilong." Wen Tiren put forward his own opinion.

"You don't need to make friends, you don't need to surrender, you can only make Zheng Zhilong propose to do this now

More conditions, let Daming pay more price. If you don't ally Zheng Zhilong, under the pretext of confronting the Dutch, you will support them in attacking the East India Company's stronghold on Taiwan. The guns we provide are still what Zheng Zhilong needs. Zheng Zhibao has also visited our soldiers in the past few days, and the minister can see that he is still envious of our equipment."
